Hamlets first soliloquy in Act I, scene ii, lines
133 - 164 is a passionate and startling passage
that strongly contrasts to the artificial dialogue
and actions that he portrays to his uncle Claudius
throughout the remainder of the play. This
soliloquy serves to reveal Hamlets melancholia and
the reasons for his despair in an outpouring of
anger, disgust, sorrow, and grief through which he
explains how everything in his life seems futile
and miserable. He mourns the death of his father,
is sicke...

extraordinary their ordinary world is. The
collection's first story, "Tln, Urban, Orbis
Tertius, " accomplishes this expertly. Borges
spends most of the story establishing an elaborate
fantasy world whose commonly held philosophical
truths are incongruent with our own. "The nations
of that planet [Tln] are congenitally idealist.
Their language, with its derivatives -- religion,
literature, and metaphysics -- presupposes
idealism. For them, the world ...

Stories of creation can be found in almost every
culture and are the basis of most religions. Man
created stories to explain where he came from and
how the world came into existence. Though they
originated in the same part of the world, the
Babylonian Enuma Elish and the Hebrew book of
Genesis are two very different stories about the
creation of man. These two stories of creation
portray the two societies that created them: the
Babylonian society of brutal servitude and the
society of the recent...

no parents, and no type of authority. Golding's
Lord of the Flies is a clever representation of
the two conflicting social orders, democracy and
dictatorship. He displays the conflict through a
carefully planned thought-experiment between the
relationships of the young boys, especially the
conflicting attitudes of Ralph and Jack. Ralph

Shakespeare has created a character in Hamlet that
has intrigued literary aficionados and critics for
400 years. A look into the depths of Hamlet shows
a character so psychologically complex that no one
has created a character to rival him yet any one
of us could relate to his feelings, perception and
dilemmas. The journey through the intellectual yet
simple, courageous yet impotent and complex yet
incredibly common character of Hamlet is
fascinating to say the least. Intelligent and
philosophic...

Everywhere in popular culture today, one finds
deep-rooted anxieties about science, technology,
and the fate of the human species. Thus, in recent
films such as The Fly, Jurassic Park, Species,
Godzilla, and Deep Blue Sea, as well as in shows
such as Prey and, of course, The X-Files, the
focus is on biological mutations, experiments gone
awry, and the creation of monstrosities. Such
media texts are responding, in part, to chemically

Immortality is one the subject of much mythology
and folklore. From the stories of the gods
themselves, to Achilles and the Styx, to vampires
and present day Christian beliefs in an afterlife,
the concept of immortality has been with humanity
since the beginning of humanity. The wise and ever
edifying Homer leaves myths of the elusive
ever-lasting life out of his works; did Homers
Achilles not wear armor? The Odyssey is a story of
mortality. Limitation and suffering are what
define humanity, yet...

Acts of Violence In a great work of literature,
violence is only used as needed. In Lord of the
Flies, by William Golding, violence is used to
convey his idea that if man is left alone without
rules, he will turn into a savage. Throughout the
novel scenes of violence are used to show the
escalating acts of bestiality of the characters as
the days on the island go by. When one looks at
the boys after they had been on the island a short
time, it is easy to see the natural beast emerging
that is in...

In Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, an underlying
theme of barbarism versus civilization appears.
Shakespeare creates characters that exemplify
symbols of nature or nurture. The symbolism of the
characters is derived from their actions. These
actions show Shakespeare's view of the uncivilized
and the civilized, as well as help the reader
develop his own opinion of each side. In this
whimsical play, Prospero, the former Duke of
Milan, after being supplanted of his dukedom by
his brother, arrives ...
